"Are you in love with him?" Dominic asked as he descended the stairs, two at a time. His eyes had gone cold and from the menacing look on his face, Adelynn knew she'd messed up big time. "Answer me!"
She flinched, looking anywhere but at him."I don't- I don't know""You don't know? You really don't know?! How long will you continue to keep this up? First, you let him kiss you and I thought that it was because he'd manipulated you. Then, you decided to leave without telling me because you wanted to get back at me for supposedly going on a date with another woman. Now, you're thinking that you're in love with your fucking exboyfriend even when you know you're married?!" He demanded, his tone as sharp as the glinting edge of a knife."Dominic, I didn't mean-"
"All along, I really thought that you were worth it. I was willing to be patient with you, considering the circumstances surrounding our marriage. I tried to understand why yoRelated chapters

"You can't possibly be quitting already. Addie, you're not thinking about this thoroughly. Are you really sure that Jensen is the man for you?" Sue asked her friend. They were both sitting side by side on a couch in Sue's sitting room. A movie was playing on the TV and Sue's brown cat was curled up on her lap. Adelynn was the picture of miserable. Her eyes were red rimmed and there were dark circles under her eyes. Her hair was barely contained in a messy ponytail and she was dressed in a large dark blue sweater and snug, white jeans trousers. Adelynn blew her nose with the tissue Sue had given her, her mascara smudged."I don't know what else to do, Sue. I can't stop thinking about Jensen and I can't be with Dominic because I feel guilty" Adelynn said.Sue embraced her friend and patted her back gently."Addie, you said it yourself. You are confused. Do you really want to get a divorce because of Jensen? Is he really worth it? Will you be

Eight years ago, Teens were everywhere and most of them were drunk. The ones who weren't completely drunk yet, were playing beer pong. Music played in the background and multicolored lights illuminated the whole place. Adelynn was sitting by the corner, staring at her cup of vodka. She was just sixteen years old and had been invited to Jensen's birthday party. She didn't feel like she was enjoying herself because she hated the crowd. Loud parties were so not her thing. "Hey! There you are!" Allen, her bestfriend said as he approached her, a cup of vodka in his hand. His blackhair was messily pushed back away from his forehead and his blue eyes glinted with mischief. He sat down beside her and took her vodka from her."Hey! That's mine" she protested. "Not anymore. Linnie, you're only sixteen and I really don't want you to get drunk" he said and she glared at him.

Dominic awoke for the first time in months, to find his wife lying in his arms. She was still asleep and didn't seem like she was going to stir anytime soon. Dominic's gaze flickered to the digital clock on the night stand. The time was seven minutes past eight. Usually, the couple would have awoken and left for work. Dominic quietly stared at Adelynn, noticing the moles on her neck. He appreciated her natural beauty, hoping that they would stay in each other's arms for a little while longer. A sharp pain tore through his stomach and he winced. He had been getting these sharp pains in his stomach for a while. But, he'd ignored it at first. At this point, it was getting worse. So, he decided that he would have to see the doctor soon. Suddenly exhausted, he felt himself succumb to his drowsiness. Adelynn awoke thirty minutes later, she slowly turned to face her husband even with his arms still around her.

"Are you afraid?" Jensen taunted, a smirk creeping on his lips. Chloe scowled at him, her eyes filled with angry tears. "Afraid of you?" She scoffed."Not a chance"Jensen's smirk vanished, his eyes darkening with rage. He took slow, predatory steps towards her while she steadily moved backwards, trying to get away from him."You brought this upon yourself Chloe. I'm sure you know that" he drawled."You are a psychopath" she hissed and he grinned evilly."Of course, I know that. You just don't understand that Hazel is mine. Only mine. Anyone who tries to get in the way will always end up six feet under" "You won't succeed. Dominic won't let you" He threw his head backwards and laughed."I can get rid of him. It's quite easy, you see. What? You don't believe me? He's not the first person who has tried to stop me, neither are you" Chloe stiffened. "He was just as panicked as you are right now. Wha

"Dominic, he's worse than I thought. If he went to such lengths just to get rid of you, we can't take things lightly" Austin said to his bestfriend. They were both sitting on the couches in Dominic's office. Dominic ran his fingers through his dark hair with a grimace. "I know. I really wish that convincing Adelynn is easy. She won't believe me if I told her-""Then, you're going to wait until he hurts you badly? I don't like this. But, I know that we have to be patient. He's not dumb, Dominic. You're just smarter than him, that's the only thing saving you" "Evidence is basically what we need at this point. We need solid ones, trust me on this" Austin sighed."I trust you, I'm just worried. Are you okay?" "Mentally or physically? Well, I'm not fucking okay" Dominic rose to his feet, shoving his hand into the pocket of his dark green coat. "I have a doctor's appointment in ten minutes. I'll see you when

"Who paid you to do this?! I won't ask you again because the next time I do, it's most likely that I'm going to strangle you to death!" Dominic roared, his eyes filled with rage. The young man tied to a chair was the picture of terrified. He couldn't stop trembling and his white shirt was soaked with sweat. "You won't talk, will you? Fine. We'll be doing this the hard way" As Dominic wrapped his hand around the young man's throat, consequently cutting off his air supply, the man's eyes bulged in their sockets. Sweat dripped down his face as he trembled on the chair, tears rolling down his pale cheeks."I'll talk! I'll talk!" He cried, his voice hoarse.Dominic narrowed his eyes."I want nothing but the truth""Y-yes, s-sir. I'll talk. Please don't kill me"Dominic released his grip on the young man's neck, a blank expression on his face."Yes? Start talking" he hissed and the man

Adelynn closed her eyes as her husband began to stroke her hair. A wave of sadness washed over her in such a manner that made tears fill her eyes and roll down her cheeks. "I'm sorry" she choked out and he sighed."Don't be" he whispered, still holding her in his embrace.For a while, they remained in each other's arms, neither of them ready to let go of the other. Soon, Adelynn's eyes were heavy lidded as a result of her exhaustion. She was soon falling asleep in her husband's arms. Dominic gently scooped her in his arms and laid her down on the bed. He covered her with the blanket and carefully wiped away the tear stains on her cheeks with his thumbs. "Goodnight" he whispered to her and rose to his full height. He rarely got to see his wife vulnerable and he wondered what it was that had made her so emotional.While he unbuttoned his shirt, Adelynn's phone beeped. His gaze flickered from her to the ph

"That's not possible. I would have known" Adelynn argued, her brows furrowed.Stella chuckled."Of course, you would have known. I understand that it can be difficult for someone like Dominic to go unnoticed. So, I'll tell you about the first time you saw him when we were kids"Adelynn was stunned to silence. How was this possible?*Flashback* It was raining buckets outside and the sky had darkened to a dull grey. Thunder which was accompanied by bursts of lightning, struck at intervals. A ten year old boy sat on the raised staircase of his neighbour's home, his clothes drenched completely. His black hair was damp and he was soaked to the bones. Dressed in a t-shirt three sizes larger than his actual size, a pair of black jeans and a pair of black sneakers, Dominic Suarez looked miserable. His bloodshot eyes were swollen, a slight frown creasing his brows. His low
